12Â Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
13Â And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14Â These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
TODAY’S MESSAGE
After the Ascension of Jesus intoheaven, the eleven disciples returned from Mount Olivet to Jerusalem and stayed in the upper room. The names of the eleven disciples of Jesus are Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip. Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. These eleven men were united in prayer and supplication with the women, Mary the mother of Jesus, and Jesus’brothers.
In obedience to the command of Jesus to the disciples not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the eleven disciples gathered and waited with the women and the brothers of Jesus at the upper room. Their main focus was to assemble in prayer until the Holy Spirit fell on them. It is interesting to note that Jesus’ mother and His brothers were among those in that upper room.
It is good to unite with fellow believers to pray for results since one can chase a thousand while two can chase ten thousand (Deut. 32:30). Whatever happens, do not miss corporate prayers at home, church, fellowship, and school.
PRAYER: Father;please help me to treasure praying with fellow believers in Jesus’Name. Amen.
